The STIHL HS 82 R 75cm Petrol Hedge Trimmer (4237 011 2963) is designed for pruning dense hedges and shrubs.

Designed for Hedge Pruning
The R pruning version uses large tooth spacing, increased blade height and gearing tailored for high cutting force. It suits heavier hedge maintenance in home gardens, larger properties and landscaping work. For regular shaping and fine finishing, a T trimming model uses a different blade and higher stroke rate. Tooth spacing is not a maximum branch-cutting capacity; follow the operating manual.
